CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 15, 1906.

Application filed December l8 1905. Serial No. 292,373.

To (all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE GRIcE, residing at 63 Jamaica Row, andCHARLES JOHN BARROW, residing at 65 Francis road, Birmingham, England,subjects of the King of Great Britain, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Cigar and Cigarette Holders, of which thefollowing is a speciflcation.

This invention relates to improvements in cigar and cigarette holders;and its object is to provide improved meansfor preventing the dust orsmall loose particles from the cigar or cigarette from entering themouth, also to provide means for piercing the cigar. We effect theseobjects by the arrangement shown in the accompanying drawings, uponwhich are figures and numbers of reference, in which- Figure 1 is a sideview of aholder made according to this our invention. Fig. 2 is an endview of the holder. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the holder online A B. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional end view on line C D.

Similar reference-numbers throughout the several views refer to the samething or art.

5 is the holder, which is made of meta and shaped in a taper formsuitable to embrace the end of the cigar or cigarette and also to formthe mouthpiece.

6 is a central tube having perforations or holes 7 in its sides and nearits front end. The end of this tube is also out in a V-shaped form at 8,which thus leaves two cuttingpoints 9 and 10, one on each side. TlllJtube 6 is flared at its other end, so as to rest upon the flared end ofthe tube of the holder 5.

11 is a perforated cap Whose edge 12 is turned over, so as to embracethe flared end of the holder 5 and the flared end of the tube 6. In thiscap, as before intimated, are perforations 13. The end of the holderabout the part 14 is somewhat flattened in the ordinary way for thebetter accommodation of the user. By these means the perforated cap 11prevents any dust or small loose particles thrown off from the cigar orcigarette from entering the month, while in the case of cigars the endof the tube 6 forms a piercer which cuts its way into the end of thecigar, so that the smoke may be drawn through into the mouth.

Although usually the central tube 5 may not be required or used forcigarettes, still it can be so used, if desired.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A cigar or cigarette holder comprising a holder-body, a tube locatedcentrally thereof, and means consisting of a perforated cap for securingthe tube to the holder.

2. A cigar or cigarette holder comprising a holder-body, a perforatedtube 6, V-shaped at its forward end and located centrally of the holder,and means consisting of a perforated cap for securing the tube to theholder.

3. A cigar or cigarette holder comprising a holder-body, a perforatedtube located centrally thereof and having at its forward end two cuttingmembers, and means consisting of a perforated cap for securing the tubeto the holder.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of twosubscribing witnesses GEORGE GRICE. CHARLES JOHN BARROW.
